Background: The assertion that creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) and the developmental isoforms of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are expressed by skeletal muscle in some clinical settings is an extrapolation from nonuremic rodent studies. We studied the content of CK-MB and cTnT in skeletal muscle of the renal-insufficient rat.
Methods: Skeletal muscles (gastrocnemius) were collected from both five-sixths nephrectomized rats (n = 11) and sham-operated controls (n = 11).
